103584, Exhaust manifold bolts and gasket
Posted by BoostedEclipse, Mar-21-07 01:41 PM
So I've been looking around the site at all the old posts about what to use with a HRC manifold. Just wondering if the way to go is the studs with copper lock nuts( if so where can I find them), factory 4g63 bolts from a dealer, or call HRC. Also I saw where somebody was using a copper ex. manifold gasket from RRE. Can a 4g63 gasket work or did I misunderstand. Anyways, just double checking since all the post on this subject were at least a couple years old. Thanks.

4g63 gasket is different, but the studs are the same size and thread pitch

Only the smaller studs work... Stick with the factory multi layer Gasket.

You can get the studs/nuts from RRE. They were much cheaper there than from the dealer for me.

I got all 8 studs/8 nuts for 25 shipped still a lot in my opinion, but dealer wanted $3/piece for each, you do the math.
